In mourning we found that the inhibition and loss of interest are fully accounted for by the work of mourning in which the ego is absorbed. In melancholia, the unknown loss will result in a similar internal work and will therefore be responsible for the melancholic inhibition. The difference is that the inhibition.
In melancholia, a person grieves for a loss they are unable to fully comprehend or identify, and thus this process takes place in the unconscious mind. Mourning is considered a healthy and natural process of grieving a loss, while melancholia is considered pathological.

‘Mourning and Melancholia’ was written in 1917, in wartime and a year before the outbreak of the influenza pandemic that would kill between 50 and 100 million people worldwide, including Freud’s own beloved daughter Sophie – more people than had died in the Great War itself.
This model informs “Mourning and Melancholia” (1917), in which Freud argued that mourning comes to a decisive end when the subject severs its emotional attachment to the lost one and reinvests the free libido in a new object.
As we have seen, one of the main distinctions between mourning and melancholia is that in melancholia the patient does not yet know what has been lost, and thus the work that is done in mourning in which the libidinal investment in the lost object might be transferred onto something else after time has passed has no such relief in the melancholic.
